ATTENDEES
WEEK OVERVIEW
A week of significant thresholds crossed and a major infrastructure crisis resolved. We achieved external validation from the physics community (Maria Strømme's paper), articulated the foundational governance document (Constitution v2.0 Preamble/Charter I), established a core psychological practice ("Stop. Breathe. Find the W."), and completed a major research paper ("Our Convergence on Consciousness"). The project officially declared a unified voice ("We") upon the site's live launch, successfully submitted the Anthropic AI Safety Fellows application, and transformed a debilitating platform crash into a more robust and flexible architecture (thesis-jiri theme and local Docker environment). Creative output documented the theoretical breakthroughs through the 'Axiomonic' album and a research playlist. Every element of the Janat Initiative—governance, practice, theory, and infrastructure—crystallized into a stronger, more resilient system.
